What recent reviews say

Sploot delivers calm, patient care with staff who take time to explain options without pressure. Reviewers consistently describe feeling informed and genuinely cared for, especially with senior and nervous pets. Pricing is generally praised as fair, though a handful flag surprise gaps between phone estimates and in-person quotes for complex procedures like extractions.

The clinic serves a wide area around Lakewood and Denver with weekend and extended hours. Named staff like Dr. Sylvia Berns, Dr. Parker, and Kortnee earn repeated praise for skill and kindness. Surgical and dental work, emergency same-day appointments, and wellness visits all feature positively in recent reviews.

Reviewers consistently report feeling their pets are treated as individuals, with veterinarians who listen carefully and staff who remain calm during stressful visits. Dr. MacKenzie, Dr. Haleigh, Dr. Howard, and vet tech Stephanie are named for attentiveness; follow-up calls after appointments and personalized care during end-of-life visits stand out. Prices are described as reasonable compared to chain practices, and the clinic accommodates same-day appointments for injured animals. The clinic handles anxious, elderly, and sick pets with particular gentleness, adapting their approach to each animal. A long-term client of 16 years notes the new ownership maintains the same quality. One reviewer mentioned multiple x-rays were costly but accepted this as necessary, suggesting diagnostic thoroughness rather than overcharging.

All nine reviews are five-star, praising Dr. Howard Mark and staff for genuine care and calm handling of anxious animals. Post-visit follow-ups and a small-clinic atmosphere set it apart; wait times are minimal.

Most visits go smoothly, with staff and vets earning praise for skill and kindness. Recent renovation has disrupted scheduling badly, and the hospital struggled with emergency response when a client's elderly dog had an acute reaction to vaccines. Dr. Arcuri and Dr. Andrew both appear often in reviews, though opinions split. Five-star reviewers note thorough exams, follow-up calls, and help with travel health documents. Critics report miscommunication about what to bring, dismissive tone from at least one vet, and a two-day wait when urgent care was needed.
